Hollywood legend Tom Hanks handles a quickfire round about his films, Indian heroines and more.

What drives Tom Hanks?
Its thrilling to know that my work is appreciated by audiences, but I still feel a bit insecure and want to improve with my next performance. I never let success rule myself.

If not an actor, then what?
An astronaut, maybebecause I always wanted to become one but didnt have the math!

The Da Vinci Code opened to criticism, even protests. Were you apprehensive before doing the prequel, Angels and Demons?
Everyone knows that The Da Vinci Code was surrounded by a controversy and yes, before we were to start Aamp;D, those moments did strike our minds because this is the prequel to The Da Vinci Code. In fact, it is quite possible that Aamp;D might have to face tough times too, but as an artist Im ready to promote my film as much as possible.

What do you know about India?
Its a beautiful country. Visiting India would surely be a cherishable experience, maybe some time soon. It has a colorful mix of diverse traditions which are very rarely seen. What makes it even more special is the cuisine - definitely one of the USPs of India.

Have you seen any Bollywood movies?
I have no clue regarding Bollywood and have no practical experience of the Indian film industry, but I presume its a fantastic body, having great talent.

But surely youve met some our Indian actresses at film festivals abroad?
Well, well, wellI have seen a few at various film fests. They are gorgeous and their simplicity is what I have noticed  that makes them very different from others.
